Indeed, they seem to be mysteriously, and worriedly dry in all of their posts.

""The water is fine. Y'all go right ahead, it's fine.... I'll just be watching from over there.... Don't worry though, it's totally safe.""

There seems to be no end to the evil on this planet.

With there being so many coastal GLPrs.. it would be hilarious for someone to catch one of those two out making their shill vids... maybe push em in the water or something.. catch it all on video.. (of course, that would be assault, but still pretty funny)..

Bet they'd come up gagging & running for the showers.

Florida Governor Charlie Crist is apparently more worried about the state’s economy than the health of vacationers and residents.

Crist told CBS on Saturday the water is safe and people shouldn’t worry. “It is safe,” Crist declared, “there isn’t a toxic nature to it that is detrimental to anybody. It is much more of a nuisance than anything else at this point.”

Crist is asking ill-informed beachgoers to endanger their health so the state’s tourism industry can be saved.

“The Escambia County Health Department lifted a health advisory on Pensacola Beach on Friday on the advice of a beach official and against the advice of a federal environmental official,” reports PNJ.com. Officials want to leave the decision to swim in the Gulf of Mexico up to the discretion of individual beachgoers.

Signs would be posted from the Florida-Alabama line to just west of Portofino Beach warning people about the toxic danger. The Environmental Protection Agency plans to put decontamination stations along the beach.

“These moves send conflicting signals about how safe it is to swim in the Gulf of Mexico as the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill broadens,” PNJ.com continues.

400 people have sought medical care for upper or lower respiratory problems, headaches, nausea, and eye irritation after trips to Escambia County beaches.

BP and the corporate media have colluded together to hide the full extent of the oil gusher and its health dangers. CNN concentrates on the impact on marine wildlife at the expense of the health problems arising...

This reminds me of that movie 'Jaws' when the local polititian says "go on and swim; the sharks won't get you" just before someone looses a leg - maybe that was said after the leg loss? Either way, people went swimming!

I feel that Ed (TV) is the apotheosis of a prevailing American syndrome. It used to be that someone became famous because they were special. Now people are considered special just for being famous. Fame, itself, is now a moral good in this country. It's its own virtue.

This just in....Scientists have discovered that the oil in the gulf is actually good for your skin. If you want to keep that youthful glow, take a dip, play in it, or swish it around in your mouth. Oil, it's even safe for the kiddies.

I will wait for the spray version, soon to be out in fall.

Even if it rains heaps in say san diego, la or even santa barbara, there is always beach closure when the cat shit and every other version of shit gets to washing out to sea as with the road pollution, also dealing with this dark twilight zone, DO NOT ENTER WATER. Enjoy fresh water sources before the first poising from directly above.go to lakes and rivers, quarrys, what not,BUT..... enjoy yourselves deeply with your best friend-YOU, loved ones , close people, there will be the time description in the near future, before the rains and storm, AND AFTER- later it will be swath, wide, how much rain, where did it fall the most, the winds, .

if you must go to corpus christi, or south, there the water is good as of now, is galveston , damaged anybody know?

hmmm..you know, i wonder if Crist just looked like an idiot because like so many high level execs..they depend on their crew to keep them updated / posted...needless to say, he should have gone to look for himself..

or better yet a video of him splashing around in that crap?

also it hinders the litigation factor if it's up to beach goer's discretion to go into the water..

just be discerning on the reported health figures..with HIPPA they have to be careful..

Has anyone been watching the live feeds? Cam 10 really seems to be spitting out more of those bubbles, possibly methane?? Last night it seemed as if it would burst up, then slow and then do it again. Today is seems to be none stop, and looking bad!
